Handbook: External patent exploitation : Motives, forms, the role of intermediaries, and a guideline

The handbook is based on the results of a two-year project on
external patent exploitation funded by the Swiss Commission for
Technology and Innovation (CTI). The project was conducted by the
Institute of Technology Management at the University of St.Gallen in
close cooperation with five industry partners, namely BGW AG, Cytos
Biotechnology AG, F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd., Novartis Pharma AG, and
Sika Technology AG. In addition, the project profited from fruitful
inputs of Bayer Innovation, IBM, IPEG Consultancy, Nestlé,
Siemens, and Steinbeis TIB. We would like to thank everybody who
contributed to the project, especially our industry partners and the
CTI who made this successful project possible.
